About this property

See Level | Charcoal Grill, Deck & Breathtaking Year-Round Mountain Views!

Tucked within the Gateway Mountain Nature Preserve which includes 3,000 acres of woodland with hiking trails, a small lake, and a waterfall, this cozy mountain oasis offers solace and seclusion to ensure the relaxing and adventure-filled mountain getaway you've been longing for. Ideal for a family or a small group of friends, See Level is filled with quirky touches & comfortable furnishings inside and amazing gathering spaces outside to make this home one you'll want to visit year after year.

See Level is located just a short 20-minute drive from the quaint town of Old Fort where you can enjoy a delicious burger and cold beer from Hillman Brewing overlooking the river and a 35-minute drive from the quaint small towns of Black Mountain and Marion. Spend your afternoons exploring downtown Marion and linger into the evening to enjoy some nightlife at Mica Town Brewing Company and Spillway Bridge & Co., or head over to the "Front Porch of Western North Carolina," Black Mountain, which boasts 2 local breweries (Lookout Brewing and Black Mountain Brewing) along with even more boutiques, art galleries, parks, and incredible restaurants like Que Sera & Tayloe's Oyster Bar, Black Mountain Bistro, and The Trailhead.

Keep in mind that no trip to Western North Carolina is complete without visiting downtown Asheville and the famous Biltmore Estate in Biltmore Village. Luckily, these two destinations, along with Chimney Rock State Park and Lake Lure, are just a 45-minute drive away from your home away from home. Offering a private and peaceful place to enjoy the mountains, See Level is perfectly positioned for you to enjoy all that the area has to offer, whether that's a day in the city browsing shops & art galleries, soaking up the sun & cruising the lake by boat, driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway to catch the changing seasons & postcard views, or scaling mountain peaks in nearby State Parks. Respite and recreation are yours at See Level!

Please note: This home is pet-friendly with an additional fee. No parking is allowed on roadways or at gate entrances. No RVs, boat trailers, camping trailers, or trailers of any kind are permitted in the Gateway Mountain Community.

Christmas 2022 at See Level

Beautiful views from See Level - truly spectacular. We did have a maintenance issue however with the WiFi that was unresolved but as we arrived on the Friday before Christmas, it was understandable that it couldn't be fixed. However, we also had little to no cell coverage.

Serene

Place was beautiful and very peaceful. Exactly as described. Beds a little to firm for my liking but that is being nit picky. Got to see a couple bears and fox. I loved coffee on the deck each morning.

Secluded and Peaceful

I wanted an isolated location that would be quiet and peaceful. This property definitely achieved my goal. House was very clean and well maintained. Very comfortable. Only thing I would say was a challenge was finding the house. Definitely an adventure once inside the community.

Beautiful

The views were spectacular. The porches/deck gave many comfortable options for outdoor dining and relaxing. The peace and privacy was amazing, the cabin comfortable. The loft was a super cute room for my youngest. We loved it!
